excel sheet hasn't opened since today

[lexifletcher]

Hi to all. I got a problem with my excel sheet, since today I haven't been able to open my excel document. Cause of I don't know the reason what happened yesterday. I was working some hours yesterday evening, and the file was valid. Today at opening, I see only blank screen in MS Excel. I'm using Excel 2016 on Windows 8 x64.

Welcome to MrExcel,

I'm assuming that you double-clicked on the file to try to open it. Have you tried to open it using the File > Open from within Excel?

Also, do other workbooks still open okay when you double- click them?

Have you tried opening this problem workbook on another computer?

This worked for me in the past. Somehow, Excel has lost it's "file association" setting.

1st recommendation: do a redundant backup now, i.e., 2 copies in removable media
2nd one: copy a few files and test them in other computers and/or upload them here
3nd one: uninstall and reinstall Excel
4th: ran an online antivirus, then update your AV definitions
5th: same for malware detectors (i.e., Spy Bot Search & Destroy)
6th: general backup
7th: format disks and reinstall Windows and software
The last step might be using Google to find more variants that are powerful that solving your trouble. That was I found there…
